It's best not to go to American style restaurants in foreign places. However, S. Americans dine after 9:00 p.m. and I need to eat a lot sooner than that. The only open place was Ruby Tuesday's in the upscale restaurant district which was close to our hotel. What a mistake! I guess the fact that there were no customers except us (OK. it was early) might have been a clue.

Our conception of 2 for 1 when explained in Spanish didn't end up being what we thought. Because Michael ordered a liquor drink, we thought mine would be free. NO! Each of us had to order one and then the second was free. I couldn't even stand up after the first drink.

However, the bathrooms were fine! That brings me to another specialty of mine. I am a connoisseur of "banos". To toss or not to toss. The garbage cans were not overflowing with discarded toilet paper the way they are in the rest of Latin America. There was toilet paper supplied in most places and they were very obliging when I asked to use the restroom. Lots of rope pulling flushers, but also very modern trendy looking sinks.

On to Buenos Aires and the tango!
